wow... this really helped me a lot. I am 11 weeks pregnant and I have gained about 7 lbs. so far. Before I got pregnant I had started a diet and exercise plan all on my own a simple plan about exercising every day and eating a balanced low cal nutritious diet every day. I stayed away from the starches and processed foods as much as possible. I lost 43 lbs. over 6 mos I feel great and I looked wonderful. I started out at 188 and am only 5.5 tall. So now I was at 145 and wanted to loose 15lbs to get to my goal. Then I got pregnant and nauseous. I've been able to exercise every day at a little lower intensity. My eating has changed due to the nausea. I still stick to healthy foods but I have increased these small snacks that are mainly crackers. Today I went to visit my family and my mother said to me "hey fatso! now I can call you that right cuz it's true". I had a fit... I said no I'm not fat it's just my shirt I was still in scrubs from work, I came home and haven't stopped crying since

I have gained 15 lbs so far and because my military ID expired and my husband is stationed in Maryland for another two weeks I have not been to the doctor...this is the biggest belly I have had compaired with my last three babies, my husband thinks its twins but I think maybe I have been eating too much cause I am always so hungry. Do you think that maybe I have gained too much? Has anyone else gained 15 pounds in the first 11 weeks?

I am going on 8 weeks and I'm gaining weight like it's going out of style! I&#8217;ve always struggled with my weight and I was doing good this past summer. My wedding was in September (2008) and I was down to a size 2 and about 114 lbs - my normal weight was about 120. I gained some weight during the honeymoon and I got pregnant in early December. I&#8217;m now up to 135! If you figure that my normal weight is 120 then that still leaves me with 15 lbs gained (almost overnight! &#8211; or at least it feels like it). My mom told me she went through the same thing (rapid weight gain) but that she dropped all the weight once she gave birth. But what makes this so much harder on my self-esteem is that there at least 3 pregnant girls in my building (at work) and all 3 of them have only gained their belly, it doesn&#8217;t look like they&#8217;ve gained an ounce more&#8230; but I&#8217;m so early on and I just feel so lazy and tired and fat. It&#8217;s been really hard on me. I try not to let it show but I feel like a blimp and non

All women are concerned. With my first baby I gained 40lbs and only went to 36 weeks, so it would have been more. Now at 10 weeks I have gained 10 lbs. I do not agree with those who have posted that you are being indulgent and lazy if you gain excess weight. In fact, your body knows how much you need to support the baby and breastfeed after. I lost so much weight well breastfeeding that I became way too thin. Thus, the excess weight is likely what you will need to feed you child later.

I am 10 weeks and have gained 6 lbs. All I can seem to eat is Pizza and pasta's. I hate it because I'm too lazy to cook and this leads to eating out and ordering pizza all the time. It kinda makes me sick to see how some pregnant moms look so skinny at their last trimester and I'm on my first and looking chubby. Will breastfeeding and exersize help me loose the weight fast? Is it ok to breastfeed and exersize?
